warp pipe
Plumber's teleportation conduit
A warp pipe is a transportation device in the Super Mario video game series—a large green tube that transports characters instantly between locations.
The term has spread beyond gaming to describe any shortcut or instant travel mechanism: I wish there was a warp pipe to skip my commute.
The pipe's signature sound effect is recognizable to generations of players.
